6z-7=2z-2 Start with the given equation.


6z=2z-2%2B7 Add 7 to both sides.


6z-2z=-2%2B7 Subtract 2z from both sides.


4z=-2%2B7 Combine like terms on the left side.


4z=5 Combine like terms on the right side.


z=%285%29%2F%284%29 Divide both sides by 4 to isolate z.

Answer:

So the solution is z=5%2F4
